I thought I would get things together last week, but obviously that didn't happen!

First, I want to congratulate the 2007 Miss Chapel Hill, Junior Miss Chapel Hill, Little Miss and Little Mr. Chapel Hill! This season of the year and these pageants seem to sneak up on me!

First runner-up is Grace Ann Butt; second runner-up, Jordan Yelensky; third runner-up, Hailey Alixzandra Lowe and fourth runner-up, Laiken Hollingsworth.

Her court includes Ashlee Kritz as 1st runner-up; Lacey Pratt was 2nd runner-up; 3rd runner-up is Alyson Patton and 4th runner-up, Scarlett Roberson. The recipient of the Miss Congeniality award is Maegan Gower.

The Miss Chapel Hill competition was held Saturday evening, March 31. Brooke Baird is the winner and new Miss Chapel Hill. The 1st runner-up of that pageant is Megan Porter; 2nd runner-up, Autumn Hill; 3rd runner-up, Stephanie Gaskill and 4th runner-up, Rebekah Roberson. Two girls were named Miss Congeniality, Trina McLain and Tifffany Anderson.

Congratulations to all the participants last weekend, and thanks go to wonderful judges, sponsors and parents! This is one of the largest events in Chapel Hill, and like anything else successful, it requires a lot of work!

Remember the Community Sunrise Service Sunday, April 8! Yes, it's Easter already! The service will be held at Chapel Hill United Methodist Church at 7:00 a.m. This is a wonderful time for our first celebration on Easter Sunday for the resurrection of Christ! Everyone can join for breakfast afterwards!

Isn't it wonderful to have new babies in town! No one feels that more than Jennifer and Chris Lynch with the birth of their son, Ty Allen Lynch! Ty was born March 21, 2007, weighing in at 8 lb. .25 oz and measuring 20 1/2 inches. Mary Elise Lynch, age 5, is very excited about being a big sister! She's staying busy helping her parents with a new baby! Grandparents get pretty excited about these babies, too. Norman and Mary Margaret Henson of Chapel Hill and Judy and Larry Lynch of Murfreesboro, along with great grandfather, Alvin Wilson of Kittrel, TN are all wearing big smiles lately! Congratulations goes to this family! Ty, with your family and their friends, you are surrounded with love!
